a beautifully refined and highly recognisable set of four original 1980s “spaghetti” dining chairs, designed by giandomenico belotti for alias, italy. Effortlessly combining industrial precision with visual lightness, these iconic chairs feature a sleek chrome tubular frame paired with tightly woven pvc cord seats and backs—creating the signature “spaghetti” effect visible in the images.

the design is deceptively simple: lengths of durable plastic cord are meticulously wrapped across the frame to form a flexible, supportive seating surface. This not only gives the chairs their distinctive linear aesthetic but also ensures comfort and resilience. The minimalist structure, with its clean lines and open form, allows them to sit beautifully within both contemporary and mid-century inspired interiors.

first introduced in 1979, the spaghetti chair quickly became a landmark in modern italian design. It was notably the first alias piece to be included in the museum of modern art (moma) collection in new york—cementing its status as a true design classic. Today, it remains one of the most enduring and recognisable expressions of late 20th-century modernism.

this set is presented in superb vintage condition, having been professionally cleaned. The chrome frames retain a bright, polished finish, while the woven seats and backs are taut and well-preserved, as shown.
